[biordf] DBpedia-OBO mapping, additions to HCLS KB

__ DBpedia - OBO mapping __

I have created a script that generates a mapping between OBO ontologies and 
DBpedia, based on cross-references to Wikipedia contained in some OBO 
ontologies. This amounts to a meager ~430 mapping relations. Wikipedia 
references do not seem to be that popular in OBO ontologies after all.

Further information, script and mapping file are available at:
http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLSIG_BioRDF_Subgroup/DBpedia_to_OBO_mapping

Further OBO - DBpedia mappings will be based on NLP.

__ Additions to HCLS knowledge base __

I have also added two new graphs to the DERI HCLS knowledge base. One 
contains the OBO-DBpedia mapping described above, the other contains the 
RDFa statements from the aTags pastebin, this graph is updated from the 
changing source document periodically.

See
http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLSIG_BioRDF_Subgroup/DERI_HCLS_KB

The synchronisation with the aTags pastebin is accomplished with the crawler 
feature [1] of Virtuoso. It periodically visits the HTML page, reads the 
RDFa and updates the graph in the knowledge base. I guess we could extend 
the use of this feature to other datasets generated by HCLS IG participants 
and make updating the HCLS knowledge base more dynamic than it currently is.
